Hi! I'm 16 and I'm soo excited that I finally figured out what I want to be! I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I set this path in stone, thus videos like yours I'm super grateful for. So thank you, Shawn. You're such a blessing!
I just got a place to do a chemical engineering degree you’re an absolute lifesaver as my family wanted to know exactly what it mean and I’ll show them this!
Im still in school and am pretty sure that I want to study chemical engineering and want to go more in the developmental direction, thanks for further encouraging me!
Hey, I'm a fellow Chem Eng like you. I might want to add the subject of thermodynamics into the list of core subjects for a chemical engineer. During my uni days, we called advance thermo, where it focuses on how obtain the different values, as it relates to the various theories on Non-Ideal Gas Law
Great explanation, simple and clear, ever since I was in high school I’ve been searching about CHE but never have I ever saw a video explain it clear and simple,. thanks for your video and keep up the great work, Quick tip, I wished you would have explained separation process and thermodynamics as they are a huge part in our major
Hii, Shawn! I'm brazilian and I'm a Chemical Engineer! Now I'm trying to improve my english and i found your channel. It will be a way to achieve my goal, because its a subject that I know, so for me I think it will be more easy to learn. I hope you keep posting! 🤗👊
Don't forget the many, many dimensionless units. Reynolds, Prandlt, Nusselt, Graatz, Sherwood, Schmidt, Grashof, and those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
Thank you for uploading this video, I want to study this but at times I began to doubt, but now there are more reasons why I know I chose it, thank you, greetings from Mexico
I’m halfway through my first year I’m still not sure what field of engineering I want to select for my second year onwards but this was very informative! Thanks!
me knowing that this is so hard in the second year, continuing until the last semester and here i am stuck in the last semester still in an online internship not knowing wtf is going on and what to do, also i don't have a patent yet for my thesis to survive my bachelor degree. everyday i feel like want to throw up and angry at the same time to do my report for the internship. i just want to share whats going on with me because im stressing about it and i have no one to understand my feeling, so i share it here, didn't mean to scare anyone. hopefully everyone do better everyday, goodluck.
Thank you so much!!! I have been studying accounting since the past year as per my background but I have always wanted to study engineering and now I m gonna pursue chemical engineering because that's what I want to study.
Chemical Engineering in Netherlands(Especially TU/e) has a ton of chemistry. I am doing a 3 year old BSc where I have done courses from advanced inorganic chemistry to supramolecular/nano chemistry to advanced surface/interface chemistry. Granted its mostly material chemistry as I have worked with photonic materials in labs but I do think there is a ton of chemistry in engineering programmes here in netherlands.
@@shawn.builds Everyone has to take take inorganic chemistry(hardest chem course I've had to do with all the quantum mechanics prerequisite!!) , the material lab and obv your general material science course, but Macro-Organic Chemistry or the advanced topics in molecules and materials are generally electives taken by about 50% of the students.
@@shawn.builds me too and im from Uruguay so i think is very different from country to country. I has: Gen chem 1 and 2, Orgo 1 2 and 3, inorganic lab and inorganic (theory), physical chemistry 1 2 and 3, and analytics 1 and 2. So that's 11-12 courses. Its a 5 years degree tho, but it completely worths it.
These days I have seriously considered quitting chemical engineering, for a lot of reasons. The main one is that the courses I'm taking have become very abstract and I should be a graduate by now. Sometimes I think it's because I'm "slow" to learn. This video (and your channel) gave me another point of view, a fresh breeze haha thanks for that. Greetings from Argentina and sorry for my bad English 😁
yeah you're definitely not the first to feel that way! take some internships if you can. when i went back to school after taking multiple internships, i found myself WAY more engaged and interested in lectures.
I am studying chemical engineering to be an industrial ecologist. I want to create monitoring systems to effectively track the in's and out's of a system and then assess areas where improvement can be made and create industrial systems which will produce a secondary, profitable product with the waste from the primary system.
Thank you so much for explaining chemical engineering better. I'm really sure that I want to be part of solving the problems that requires a chemical engineer.
That's really well explained!! I myself am a chemical engineer and could relate to your points....just one observation: you missed out on mentioning about solution thermodynamics: that's also a very important part of chemical engineering... especially more on the research side.
great to hear that I didn't butcher it :P i've never heard about solution thermodynamics, what's the difference between that and regular thermodynamics?
Solution thermodynamics can be seen as a branch of regular thermodynamics ...for example concepts like chemical potential, fugacity, different free energies may not be an important part of regular thermodynamics but they are an essential part of solution thermodynamics , statistical thermodynamics...
Do you think you could make a video about getting that first job? I'm graduating with no experience whatsoever and I could use some advice on how to find that first placement. Bet theres many others like me too
I AGREE! I'm about to graduate in a couple of months and then I'm gonna be taking the boards. Some advice based on your experience as a fresh graduate and a newly hired employee would be helpful to those like us. :DDDD
My daughter did masters in chemical engineering last year, but sadly its been a year and she hasn't found a job.she worked really hard for her degree and its heart breaking,when i see her applying for jobs and giving interviews, but they don't give her job..😢😢
@@shawn.builds Thank you for replying,As she graduated last year because of covid_19 all her interviews are online,i don't think its interview skills,in uk its more hard to get a job if your heritage is Pakistani..i strongly believe that is the reason no one hiring her, sadly
I am taking Bs ChE but it’s hard and it’s harder because of this pandemic that there’s no face-to-face classes. I thought of shifting but I can’t. More Tips please!😉
Hi, I hope you are well. Can you please provide the list of companies to look into. This video really helped me put things into perspective. Thank you so much
It's very weird that I just finished my first year of being a Chem E major and this video just so happens to pop up on my recommended! I wish I could've watched a video like this before getting into the school year so that I knew what kind of courses were to be expected haha.
Im chemical engineer too and ı love my job but really hard to find a job in my country and ım looking for a job for two years but couldn't find yet. My knowledge is melting day by day. I hope one day ı work a country which gives appreciate to chem engs. Greetings from Turkey.
welcome yunus! yeah it's a tough market sometimes, but i'm sure you'll find something eventually. maybe do some internships or get some experience in some adjacent fields?
Me too, Yunus... I've been looking for an internship for 2 years now (chem eng), but couldn't find any. I'm growing more and more helpless about the future because I'm going to graduate in 1 or 2 years and, in my country, people who graduate without experience really have a hard time looking for jobs, and commonly end working with things like Uber (nothing against but we do not spend 5-7 years studying to drive a car). I feel like you, that my knowledge is "melting" and I'm losing opportunities to apply this knowledge before it goes to my subconscious. I just wanted you to know that I really feel your pain, and I hope you find a good and well-deserved job and all the happiness and joy from this beautiful profession. Stay resilient! Greeting from Brasil.
Greetings Shawn! I'm a chemistry degree based and I'm ongoing on my Masters. Now I'm very nervous and anxious about what can I do in future career. Was it possible that Chem Eng is suitable for Chemistry degree based or any additional course that needed to take about? Seriously need help on it! Thanks!
hi shawn, one quick question, do you recommend any book for beginners? i am finishing my first year of chemical engineering and i would love to inform myself!
In my second year of ChemE now. Actually pretty scary when i think about the work after uni. The responsibilities sounds so heavy i’m scared i won’t be able to pull it off lmao
But in India there is very less scope of chemical engineering and i want to persue it..so I am preparing for entrance exam..and I can take Mechanical also if chemical in not good
Hi Shawn I would imagine for a job like that you need to know alot of chemistry any ideas on if I tried to cut pm 2.5 filter to fit in a gas mask filter any thoughts please thank you it mean do you think that I could make a gas mask filter by using cotton and cutting th pm2.5 filter thoughts please thank you.

Hey Shawn. I have been accepted into UBC Okanogan for a bachelor in science because I was unsure of what exactly I wanted to do back in January when I applied . But just recently have found chemical engineering and I am interested in taking the program that Vancouver campus offers. I would have to transfer in my second year. My questions are: Is it difficult to transfer into the program? Should i change into some type of engineering program at Okanogan to prepare for chemical engineering? If so what program would be best so that the classes match what I would need to take in first year chemical engineering? The engineering programs offered in Okanogan are: Mechanical engineering Civil engineering Electrical engineering Manufacturing engineering Or should I just stick with the science bachelor for first year? Any help is really appreciated. I’ve just recently found your content and it’s been super informative. Thanks!
Hi Daniel, Shoot me a message at shawnesquivel24@gmail.com. I can give you better advice through email and possibly connect you with a friend of mine who transferred from science to chem E. Thanks for watching, Shawn
I'm still in first year of chemical engineering, actually its foundation year. So I'm kinda scared because this field would be hard for me but I like Chemistry... that's why I chose chemical engineering.....
Hi Shawn! I just got into UBC & I Waterloo’s chem engineering, but I’m so confused about the difference between these two school’s program. Do you have any ideas about this???
@@shawn.builds thanks for your reply! Btw if I choose chem engineering in uni, is it possible for me to be an engineering consultant or working in data science field as my future job/career path?
@@jenniferjin9460 yeah it's definitely possible, I actually know someone who graduated in chem E around 2016 and has been working in data science since. however, you can't get your P. Eng unless you're doing actual engineering work. consulting is also always an option working at EPC firms. In canada, check out Kiewit, Ausenco, Golder, Hatch.
hey, simple question does it differ from graduate requirements in your country? for example in my country we ChemEng need to do a research, factory design, and fieldwork practices to graduate. This is my third year and I'm feeling tough on this degree :(
we had similar things: 1. lab course every year where we do research and design of experiments 2. capstone course in final year to do full plant design 3. co-op/internships (not mandatory, but highly increases your chances of getting a job after grad)
Do you know the main differences between chemical engineering and chemical product engineering? My university offers them as two different degrees and I’m confused what the difference is as the descriptions are so similar.
oh bless me, after months of debating over what course to take, i chose chem eng. I'll be starting university this year, and I will binge watch all your videos now hahaha. Ps. This is the only straightforward but not cramped vid about chem eng out there
I'm attracted to petrochemical companies like SIBUR and have also studied oil refining processes for quite a long time. But I'm really like pharma technology, and I would like to get more experience in this field.
Some of it is cool, most of it is boring. Graduated last spring and got a good job doing R&D so I guess that’s good. Honestly would hate to do process control.
@@shawn.builds Pharmaceutical, I’m fortunate that my university is located in an area with many pharmaceutical companies and provided connections to these companies.
@@amuri9797 It helps but it’s not a deal breaker. All I had was just general work experience in retail that I worked to get through university. I didn’t have any industry experience.
Of course it's hard, any type of engineering disciple is going to have tough math and physics. But is it impossible? No. You can survive if you have a decent foundation in math/science, have good work ethic and are passionate about learning. School was definitely tough but can be satisfying if you enjoy what you're studying. It's not always going to be fun, but if you believe in engineering, then it will be worth it.
Yoo, I have a AS degree in Chemistry and a BS in Chemical Engineering... I don't know why everyone hates organic chemistry? that's by far my fav... and I believe way more interesting than inorganic
@@shawn.builds haha I reckon organic reactions mechanisms are weird af and teachers don't help much really, but once you understand sh** behind the reactions you like em lol
A process engineer is a chemival engineer, but a chemical engineer is not necessarily a proceer engineer. I am doing my masters in molecular systems and material chemistry (specifically low scale soft matter systems like yoghurt and paint)
Yeah definitely, most manufacturing jobs won’t require you to know too much o chem from what I’ve seen so far in pulp and paper, food and beverage, but you never know when it could be handy. Process control, thermo, heat transfer, m&eb are the core
Im working as process engineer too but do u think skills i will gain on ds master can help me through my career as a process engineer? Sorry for disturbing again tho and thanks for answering Im a fresh graduate and just exploring options

Thanks a lot bro:,-) whenever I post comment you always respones me though.
Hi there, I am currently studying for Y2 chemical engineering, just want to know that is someone here looking at the comment have experiences in the investigation of the Progress of Carbon Quantum Dots in Photocatalysis Applications?
Sounds wicked cool but I don't know anything about that. Hope someone else can help.
Hey Shawn. I have been accepted into UBC Okanogan for a bachelor in science because I was unsure of what exactly I wanted to do back in January when I applied . But just recently have found chemical engineering and I am interested in taking the program that Vancouver campus offers. I would have to transfer in my second year. My questions are:
Is it difficult to transfer into the program?
Should i change into some type of engineering program at Okanogan to prepare for chemical engineering?
If so what program would be best so that the classes match what I would need to take in first year chemical engineering?
The engineering programs offered in Okanogan are:
Mechanical engineering
Civil engineering
Electrical engineering
Manufacturing engineering
Or should I just stick with the science bachelor for first year?
Any help is really appreciated. I’ve just recently found your content and it’s been super informative. Thanks!
Hi Daniel,
Shoot me a message at shawnesquivel24@gmail.com.
I can give you better advice through email and possibly connect you with a friend of mine who transferred from science to chem E.
Thanks for watching,
Shawn
@@shawn.builds sounds good. I have shot you that email.
Wooow❣️
Loved the video ✨✨
happy to help :)
Were you an AIChE member in college?
A student member but I never did anything with it tbh hahaha
Many thanks!
you're welcome!
Loved video😇😇
Thanks Harsh! More coming your way :)
hay chemical engineering, makaboang uy
english pls? :P
I'm still in first year of chemical engineering, actually its foundation year. So I'm kinda scared because this field would be hard for me but I like Chemistry... that's why I chose chemical engineering.....
I think chemical engineering is a lot more interesting than pure chemistry 🧪
@@shawn.builds yes ofcourse
PINOY Electronic engineer VLOGGER STILL WAITING
Waiting for what?
Hi Shawn! I just got into UBC & I Waterloo’s chem engineering, but I’m so confused about the difference between these two school’s program. Do you have any ideas about this???
I don't know much about Waterloo but I know they're both very similar schools so don't sweat it too much
@@shawn.builds thanks for your reply! Btw if I choose chem engineering in uni, is it possible for me to be an engineering consultant or working in data science field as my future job/career path?
@@jenniferjin9460 yeah it's definitely possible, I actually know someone who graduated in chem E around 2016 and has been working in data science since. however, you can't get your P. Eng unless you're doing actual engineering work. consulting is also always an option working at EPC firms. In canada, check out Kiewit, Ausenco, Golder, Hatch.
@@shawn.builds thank you so much! Happy Easter!
hey, simple question does it differ from graduate requirements in your country? for example in my country we ChemEng need to do a research, factory design, and fieldwork practices to graduate. This is my third year and I'm feeling tough on this degree :(
we had similar things:
1. lab course every year where we do research and design of experiments
2. capstone course in final year to do full plant design
3. co-op/internships (not mandatory, but highly increases your chances of getting a job after grad)
same with me for graduate the last assignment is factory design
It is really hard. Currently taking heat and mass transfer.
I actually liked that course! And it’s pretty useful so pay attention :)
@@shawn.builds this was my favorite module. I am finnally a chemical engineer and I got a job. I love it.
@@scme4151 congrats!!!
Do you know the main differences between chemical engineering and chemical product engineering? My university offers them as two different degrees and I’m confused what the difference is as the descriptions are so similar.
Can you send me the links?
oh bless me, after months of debating over what course to take, i chose chem eng. I'll be starting university this year, and I will binge watch all your videos now hahaha.
Ps. This is the only straightforward but not cramped vid about chem eng out there
wow congrats! hope it goes well for you!! and thank you, it was definitely some effort to squeeze this all into 4 min :P
Hey, i'm chemical engineer from Russia c: I'm very glad that YT recommended this video to me.
(I even understand everything you are talking about xD)
So cool! What are the companies you want to work at in Russia?
I'm attracted to petrochemical companies like SIBUR and have also studied oil refining processes for quite a long time.
But I'm really like pharma technology, and I would like to get more experience in this field.
I’m in Year 1 and this video scared me cause I always sleep during class
wake up!!!
Subscribed!
Thanks!!
Some of it is cool, most of it is boring. Graduated last spring and got a good job doing R&D so I guess that’s good. Honestly would hate to do process control.
What industry are you in?
@@shawn.builds Pharmaceutical, I’m fortunate that my university is located in an area with many pharmaceutical companies and provided connections to these companies.
should you have experience before you can get a job?
@@amuri9797 It helps but it’s not a deal breaker. All I had was just general work experience in retail that I worked to get through university. I didn’t have any industry experience.
Hi , am 2021 senior so am thinking about chemical engineering, but i just wanna ask if it’s enjoyable or ? And if it has a hard math and physics?
Of course it's hard, any type of engineering disciple is going to have tough math and physics. But is it impossible? No. You can survive if you have a decent foundation in math/science, have good work ethic and are passionate about learning. School was definitely tough but can be satisfying if you enjoy what you're studying. It's not always going to be fun, but if you believe in engineering, then it will be worth it.
@@shawn.builds i mean by hard it’s much harder than the information you get in the last year of high school?
@@vahrezawad2804 yep its harder
Im in my final year of bachelor degree chemical process engineering and suddenly this video popped out ahahahah
the yt algorithm knows all
How is the demand in this field compared to other branches of engineering
Most popular ones would still be mechanical, electrical and software in terms of job prospects
Does industrial engineering demand in future
probably!
Hi... I completed my engineering.... could you please explain which course will help me to get a job after chemical engineering
you're better off focusing on design teams, internships, research and projects. courses are the least effective way of standing out to employers
Please explain about technology transfer department
What is the role of tech transfer in chemical industries and how it is different from production?
i actually don't really know what a tech transfer department is...
Now I am doing chemical engineering..
AYE!!
Can I do chemical engineering if I don't study physics in A level?
yeah ofc, i was not very good at physics but I got by!
I just applied to college for chemical e, hope I pass
I hope so too!! Let me know if you get in 👀
@@shawn.builds I just got my results from the admission exam I GOT IT.
@@samirreyes7455 WOOOOOOO CONGRATS!!! :DDDD
@@shawn.builds thaaanks
Yoo, I have a AS degree in Chemistry and a BS in Chemical Engineering... I don't know why everyone hates organic chemistry? that's by far my fav... and I believe way more interesting than inorganic
i agree it's way more interesting, but you gotta admit sometimes organic chem makes absoolute ZEROOO sense
@@shawn.builds
Hey, well not sure how organic sometimes makes zero sense, probably you're talking about reactions and mechanisms?
@@m.k.9573 yeah, i mean i'm just dumb so that course was a blur lol
@@shawn.builds
haha I reckon organic reactions mechanisms are weird af and teachers don't help much really, but once you understand sh** behind the reactions you like em lol
@@m.k.9573 yeah if i could get to that point i'd definitely appreciate it more lol. are you using o chem in your work now?
A process engineer is a chemival engineer, but a chemical engineer is not necessarily a proceer engineer. I am doing my masters in molecular systems and material chemistry (specifically low scale soft matter systems like yoghurt and paint)
nice! where are you doing your masters ?
@@shawn.builds at the university of technology in Eindhoven! They also offer process chemistry, but I chose the other track :)
Please, can u help me?? I need to do a explain about industrial machines.
i just make youtube videos :P
I also dont like organic chemistry :(... anyway, can I still land a job where less of org.chem knowledge needed?
Yeah definitely, most manufacturing jobs won’t require you to know too much o chem from what I’ve seen so far in pulp and paper, food and beverage, but you never know when it could be handy. Process control, thermo, heat transfer, m&eb are the core
Sir Can we do chemical engineering kr skte h after 10 standard
not sure what you mean bro
I’m 33 and changed my career, now my new adventure is getting my degree in chemistry.. now that I work for a medical cannabis company.. lol
nice!! hope everything turns out well for you!
Thanks for the explaination man. My name’s Sean and Imma be stealing your viewers once I become a chemical engineer too😎
good luck ;)
2 years later... I know what you’re actually doing for work 😂
need to show this to my family next
Super bro
awesome!
Hello.... Bro i am chemical engineer, any job offer available in private sector, and how to get easy
I’ve got a vid explaining my tips for getting internships/jobs. Check it out!
Tq.....
Pls tell me brief details bro
Bro , Can You Explain How Chemical Engineers Prevent Climate Change??
Watch out for my next vid 😝😝
I am Waiting..😄
i finished my cheme degree and i still don't know what it's about
lolol join the club
Do u think making masters on data science is good for ChemE grads?
That’s probably what I’d go for if I went back
Im working as process engineer too but do u think skills i will gain on ds master can help me through my career as a process engineer? Sorry for disturbing again tho and thanks for answering Im a fresh graduate and just exploring options
@@yigitahiskali901 data science for process control seems like an interesting topic
